Getting course advice

All students have access to faculty staff for advice on course requirements, unit selection and other academic matters. Staff in the faculty that manages your course are responsible for providing advice on course requirements. The specific course requirements that you must satisfy to graduate from your course are set out in the relevant University Handbook.

Handbooks

The Handbook for the year you commenced your studies sets out the requirements of your course, however you should note the following statements printed in the front of this 'Student Resource Guide' and the Handbooks:

While the information provided herein was correct at the time of publication, Monash University reserves the right to alter procedures, fees and regulations should the need arise. Students should carefully read all ofÞcial correspondence, other sources of information for students and the ofÞcial University noticeboards to be aware of changes to the information contained herein. The inclusion in a publication of details of a course in no way creates an obligation on the part of the University to teach it in any given year, or to teach it in the manner described. The University reserves the right to discontinue or vary courses at any time without notice.

Students should always check with the relevant faculty ofÞcers when planning their courses. Some courses and units are described in the Handbooks which may alter or may not be offered due to insufÞcient enrolments or changes to teaching personnel.

The information in this [publication] is correct as at [the date of printing].

If you are a research student with Doctoral and MPhil candidature, consult the 'Handbook for Doctoral and MPhil Degrees' available at http://www.mrgs.monash.edu.au/research/doctoral/index.html

Student advisers

At any time during your course you can seek the advice of staff within the University. The academic staff whose classes you attend and, if necessary, the head of the department can assist you with academic matters. Course advisers in the faculty that manages your course can be consulted on the selection of units, changes of course, or on matters relevant to your academic progress in your course. Some faculties have staff who specifically help international students, or students with a disability etc.

Advisers can also provide information on other student services such as health, housing or counselling, which may provide the help you require. The sooner you seek help, the easier it will be to resolve any difficulties or improve your situation.
